Walnut Blasting

kaede · 06-13-2013, 02:01 PM

Hi All,

Anyone around the GVRD area that knows of any independant/dealership that does Intake Valves cleaning via walnut blasting? I know all BMW stealership does it but costs a fortune.

The closest deal i know of is driving all the way to Bellvue WA (besides Seattle) and BMW of Bellvue will do it for $389 + Tax (This is not a promotion, they regularly charge this for the service). It will be nice to have a shop close by who does this at a reasonable price. Thanks!!

is appointment necessary for BMW of Bellvue?

I was quoted $680 by AutoWest. None of the independent BMW garages seem to have the necessary equipment.

Thanks for the tip on Bellevue. Save $300 bucks by driving to Seattle?

well, fill up gas there, picking up some goodies, might be worthwhile

Appointment needed for sure if you want courtesy loaner car. They don't have a lot of them like BJBMW or AutoWest, so book early. Ya... i think i'll drive down there and get it done. The Walnut blasting kit and blasting media isnt that expensive, i just dont wanta rip apart the engine myself and DIY... Thanks!
